from ospo-career-path.

From WG call:

• Focus first on building two career paths: Management and users. Include Certification exams too (like the WIP FINOS Open Source Developer Certification Exam) finos/open-source-readiness#123)

• An idea to discuss for our next call: Can we segment by the level of knowledge (beginner, advanced...)? ... This might not be possible with the existing content

• If we mention InnerSource in the OSPO career path, link to innersource commons foundation resources.

Open Source Contributors - WG Call Oct 17th

Fundamental rules and procedures from an open source developer perspective. More basic than the FINOS dev cert exam. Even more basic than: https://github.com/todogroup/ospo-career-path/blob/main/OSPO-101/module6/README.md and not targeted to decision-makers (more about how to do that)

from ospo-career-path.

Open Source Contributors - WG Call Oct 17th
